EDGE - Need For Speed: The Run review

The notion that playing games is a waste of your time is nonsense, of course, but unfortunately Need For Speed: The Run lets the side down. Stuffed with a procession of long-winded loading sequences, protracted menu flipping and unskippable cutscenes, it often feels like there’s as much watching as there is playing. Time wasted, in other words.

I give the game 9/10 for the arcady fun racing. This with a G27. I just wish EA had the balls to scrap the horrible cutscenes and the QT-events. I wanted less of those, more of the driviing. Really enjoying the driving here.
